We're waking Friday up to a much cooler and comfortable start to the day, but also a very smoky one. Air Quality Warnings are in effect for essentially all of Southern Manitoba.
"Wildfire smoke has returned to Southern Manitoba behind a cold front that swept through yesterday," explained CMOS Accredited Weathercaster Chris Sumner. "Northwesterly surface winds, coupled with northwesterly winds aloft, have pushed that smoke southward from forest fires in Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan."
According to Environment Canada, the smoke is expected to linger into Saturday, at least.

Slightly below average temperatures are expected Friday, with highs around 24 degrees underneath a cloudy sky and a 60 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms.
"Warmer temperatures and sunshine return, on cue, for Saturday and Sunday, as we see the mercury rise back to the 26 to 28 degree range, with a little bit of humidity making things feel like around 30," he added.
